I can give you 1 good reason why they shouldnt. Tulsa is that reason. Tulsa beat UAB in conference play and has also wrapped up the #2 spot. Both get first round byes in the tournament but UAB will probably still have a better RPI afterwards.

Looks like we'll get only 1 bid this year, that's too bad. Can anyone think of any reason that UAB get an at-large?

if UAB win the remaining games and has a good showing in the tournament. They should be picked. what do you guys think?

yes, that was a huge drop from last year. It was ranked 9 last year, #6 in 2003-2004. see http://www.realtimerpi.com/2004-2005/rpi_cusa_Men.html

looks like conference usa is in bad shape now. Sagarin has us ranked #18, RTR #20. Memphis is carrying the flag now.
